A big problem with eBay is that the sellers are largely amateurs, not professional booksellers. That means that much of what's there is out of the basement or the garage: umpteen copies of the Heron editions, the ugly series of Arrow paperbacks (you know the ones I mean), and poor, jacketless copies...

Your Dennis Wheatley collection?
What's the "best" item in your personal collection? I have DW's own copy of THE MYSTERY OF A HANSOM CAB, with the Pape bookplate, and one of the carbon typescripts for MAYHEM IN GREECE ("extra copy," with corrections in various hands). But my favorite, I think, is a letter in res...

Cabell puts the mate...

Lymington story collections?
Are the Lymington editions of GUNMEN, GALLANTS, AND GHOSTS and MEDITERRANEAN NIGHTS the hardest titles in that series to find? I have standing searches on eBay, and check bookfinder.com all the time, but these almost never turn up, and then only in poor condition. (I'm not surprised that I never see...

Is it possible that not everyone has come back after the hiatus? I know there are some names I have not seen again. On the other hand, I'm on an Andre Norton forum that can go weeks without a posting as well. (Her death slowed that forum down drastically, though she never posted there herself.) I wa...
